Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Oh, Junelle, (What a pretty name!!) My hair has always been baby fine and hard to manage. Mom always kept it short saying it would never grow long (of course not, when she kept cutting it!) so once I was off to college, I let it grow. My whole adult life it has been halfway down my back but still fine. Now after eating Atkins for 2 years it has body. I didn't even realize it until someone on one of these lists made the observation of her hair. I generally brush it, pony tail it, and wrap it around a child's slap bracelet to keep it out of my way so I never paid any attention to how it was improving. So I am very pleased. If the weather ever cools down I might enjoy wearing my hair down. And the slap bracelet puts a curl in it so if I wear it up at night, I can have waves the next day!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 >>just wondering if anybody else has a problem with this due to thyroid issues... when all of this started happening, i also started to get " whiskers " on my chin and extra facial hair. i realize that this happens to many women, but im wondering if it also coincides with thryroid problems.<< Usually it is just the opposite! Have you had your other hormones checked? This sounds like too much Testosterone or a lack of Progesterone or Estrogen. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 >>i was told my estrogen was low due to what time i was at in my monthly cycle.<< I am afraid I can't help you here. It has been half a lifetime ago since I had a period, so my levels of female hormones are surgically messed up! LOL Maybe have it tested again, and if still low, maybe a little supplemental would help. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I have no extra hair growths like wiskers or such. I have ALL my head hair too...still the same as always, thin but lots of it. I have lost a lot of body & eyebrown hair tho. But that's all. I've been on Synthroid, btw, for about 6-7 years now. And it's not working. Caroline hair just wondering if anybody else has a problem with this due to thyroid issues... when all of this started happening, i also started to get " whiskers " on my chin and extra facial hair. i realize that this happens to many women, but im wondering if it also coincides with thryroid problems.jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
